Donkey Creek

It looks like Duncan Creek will be busy this weekend.

I just had to repost this photo by Ray Zimmerman.


I've been a enjoying MRZ's photography for a long time now. Much Respect.

Concrete Disciples is an excellent website.

Happy Fathers Day

AS ALWAYS CLICK THE PHOTO TO ENLARGE:


I about shed a tear after I took this. The kid took a big slam, almost came to a stop, and then bumped the tip of his nose. No blood, just tears....

Happy Dad Day to all the Fatherly figures I know, My Dad, My Bro Matt, Bro in Law Kelly, Bro in Law Ryan, Hubbard, Wes, Thrasher, Rick and of course Cory.

GUMPTION

I was just getting homesick when I remembered what my friends back home in good ol' Lincoln Nebraska get to skate on the daily...


This seriously is worst place I have ever legally skated.



I understand how hard everyone has worked to make these two places happen. I'm not knocking it, I damn sure wish they would have existed when I was growing up in Lincoln.

That said, if there ever was a time for me to look back and say, "I wish I knew then what I know now" it would be this moment.

Ok, here's my rant: Linconites, you can't take this crap any longer! You need a concrete skateboard park!

I was recently reminded after "noticing" a four foot quarter pipe and a very nicely constructed ledge near downtown Athens that there is something we as skateboards all posses and that's gumption.

Build it.... even if you only have it for a few weeks it's worth the work. Oh and for god sakes don't tell anyone your building it!!!

Find a spot, dig, pour, skate.



Someone please pour some damn concrete in Lincoln......

NYC AUGUST 3rd...

Five Guys Tour 08

Can't mess with The Five Guy Crew.

Check out more photos from the day tour at Georgia Skater.

RATM does CH.

Ahhh yaaaaa BOYYYYYY!!!!!!





I keep forgetting that Rage is back.

Funny, I wonder why I never listen to them anymore? Oh ya I have a CD player instead of a tape deck in my car now!

Gotta make a trip to Wuxtry's and see if they have any used.

Bikes, Boards.. but no Blades!

Duncan Creek is now open for your skateboarding pleasure. But please remember kids,
NO SCOOTERS, NO RIP STICKS!
And if your parents give you a helmet like this, throw it away and get one that protects the soft spot on the back of your head!

YOU MUST....

...KNOW YOUR HISTORY!

Reminiscing....

Seems like this was YEARS ago.
Feb. 2007, The Atlanta Skate Park Tour.

Wezel, Sugi, and Alex on deck.

Wezel + mini= rippage.

Dylan was done for the day.

Have you ever rode this bowl? Clacka, clacka, clacka goes the wheels...... Some how Alfredo still got gnar.

LIKE A RAY OF SUNSHINE

I have just made your day brighter..

Nack Nack

Raise your rock fist and scream it with me!

SCHOOLS OUT FOR THE SUMMER!!!

Patio at SPOA's South Shore.

I still really like this photo. With digital photography being such a fleeting endeavor it has really taken away much of the time that I use to have between taking the photo and having it printed or "published" as it may be.

That time often allowed me to separate myself from the images and draw a better conclusion as to which photos should be shown and which photos should be trashed.

The editing I use to do over a five day period in the dark room often is now a five minute job with the computer. I'm not complaining, it's just a different way of working, and I'm finding that faster is not always better.

Thanks

Just wanted to thank everyone who came out to my opening Friday night.

A big congratulations and high five goes out to Rick "66" Stanziale for making the shop a reality! Can you believe it's only been one month?

Second View

Sorry, I haven't been back to the park since Tuesday.

More Air..

Josh Air

Merle H.

This is how it always goes with me when I get in a mood.

I tried finding a video of Merle singing Fightin' Side of Me on the web but ended up with this sad lonely song about just livin' life as best you can.

Very fitting I think.

Enough with the serious stuff though. I would have loved to be in the "green room" with Merle and the boys just before they took to the stage.

Chain Link!!!!

Bags of Cheetos were chasing me.....

Get to GET GNAR!

Ghost to Most as seen by Jason Thrasher.

A Ghost To Most


I'm always humbled by Jason's commitment to a project.
Congrats on the video!

More from the other day.

Dave comes out at night.

The sun had set, but Dave wanted to get a couple of grinds in.

Sometimes it hurts...

Sometimes, pads don't even help.
Heal Paul, HEAL!!!!

SSOA!

Skate Shop of Athens
GRAND OPENING MAY 3rd!
50 Gaines School Rd.

Stu Graham Goes Pro...

This is one promotion that is well deserved... Stu is the definition of "Gnar".

Skateboarding is a crime.... most of the time.

I use to really despise signs like this. A little part of me would just shake every time I'd see one. Much of my adult life I have felt that being a skater has made me unacceptable by society, parents, government officials and places where I do business.

Living in Athens and having a skate park practically in my backyard has given me a different outlook. I now realize these signs are probably the best advertising one could ask for.
